摘要: | In this study, we propose a simple method to produce the various interface thicknesses within Ti/ZrO2 by changing the thickness of the Ti top electrode. As the Ti thickness increases, the induced interface thickness also increases to degrade the dielectric strength of the ZrO2, further lowering the forming voltage. However, when the interface layer is thick enough, it will trap sufficient charges to build up an opposite electric field to increase the forming voltage. The induced interface thickness is found to obviously affect the bias polarity of the resistive switching behavior and the device reliability. A fluctuant ON process is also demonstrated to be attributed to the competition between the formation and rupture of the conducting filaments. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.
